Overmade announces second implementation phase for Zain Paper's new tissue production park in Doha, Qatar; second phase encompasses two additional Overmade complete tissue plants, each to produce 30,000 TPD tissue using softwood and hardwood virgin fibers

June 28, 2024 (press release) –

Overmade received the green light to proceed with the implementation of the PHASE 2 of the new tissue production park in the Middle East area. ZAIN PAPER INDUSTRY, an important player in the Middle East, will implement the new tissue production park in DOHA QATAR. The second phase of the project encompasses the installation of two OVERMADE complete tissue plants for the production of high-quality facial tissue and follows the first phase in which two identical tissue lines has been delivered.

ZAIN PAPER INDUSTRY has commissioned the complete lines to OVERMADE on the basis of a turn-key supply: from Virgin pulper to Approach flow system, from Hydraulic Headbox to Reel, from Winding system to Wrapping line, including all auxiliaries such as Vacuum line, Steam system, High efficiency Hood, Mist and Dust removal system. The DCS (Distributed Control System), the QCS (Quality Control System), the Sectional Electrical Drives and the Electrification of the entire tissue mill are also part of the scope of supply. 

Each one of the four lines line will produce 30,000 TPD tissue, using softwood and hardwood virgin fibers, It will be equipped with a water treatment plant, fiber recovery plant and an advanced double dilution system to feed the headbox. The machines are the OVER CR C20, capable to produce the softest facial tissue, using the DYNAFLO-C headbox on the OVER FORMER CR, capable to “OVER-perform” in the fiber distribution at high consistency and to reduce the softwood needs in the paper.

Each line is conceived to work at a speed of 2,000 MPM with a reel trim of 2,750 mm and includes all the technological solutions for an energy saving tissue production such as high efficiency hood, steam system with economizer. OVERMADE’s scope of supply includes as well all necessary services of engineering and erection supervision services as well as assistance at the start-up of both lines. 

The project is entirely managed by Mr. Elie Wanna as CEO of ZAIN PAPER INDUSTRY, a manager with vast experience in the tissue field and well known in the market. “We are proud to announce the ZAIN PAPER INDUSTRY TISSUE PARK PROJECT in QATAR – stated Mr. Wanna – an important investment that is located on a plot of land exceeding 123.000 m2, which has been and will be developed in multiple phases. After phase 1 (with two OVERMADE lines, one tissue converting plant and one diaper plant), we are enthusiastically announcing the phase 2 of the ZAIN PAPER INDUSTRY project that includes the installation of two equal tissue machines and production lines. Parallelly we are announcing the already programmed phase 3 with the supply of two extra tissue lines TM5 and TM6 equal to the 4 already implemented. Having multiple equal lines – continued Mr. Wanna - we dedicate each line for a single product. Production changes will be minimised to achieve the highest level of efficiency and productivity, while saving in the spare parts and consumable management. We are extremely satisfied about the collaboration and support received by the OVERMADE team; this is a plus on top of the well-known performances of OVERMADE tissue lines in terms of quality of the product, productivity and consumptions. For many years OVERMADE has been serving the market with this machine size, which has shown throughout the years to be Overmade’s feather in the cap, all over the world including Middle East”. 

“We are enthusiastic about these new important multiple orders – added Mr. Marocchio, President and CEO of OVERMADE, - especially because they are coming from an experienced and high demanding Tissue producer, who prepares to gain significant market shares. This allows us, in parallel, to increase our presence in a key market, and demonstrate once again OVERMADE’s high technology level. OVERMADE's growth path continues with more and more prestigious installations and references, following our motto MADE IN ITALY – MADE IN OVER.”
